OVCA and the S.O.A.R. Program want to help your students build reading stamina. What does that mean? Studies have shown the incredible value of learning to read for 30 minutes a day. Click HERE to see the article. As the state testing season approaches, we want to help your students exercise their "reading muscles" by slowly working up to reading for 30 minutes in one sitting. Many of our students are already able to do this, but if your student is not able to read for 30 minutes in one sitting this program will help! There are a total of 8 reading stamina videos that will help your students increase slowly from 1 minute of reading up to 30 minutes of reading. S.O.A.R. will send out special editions of The Flyer over the next 2 months with this video series. The first video below is the introduction to this program and it will help you as the Learning Coach to understand how this will benefit your student. The 2nd video begins the reading exercise-so grab your students to watch that video together! Feel free to print off the Reading Stamina Chart pdf below to help track the progress. Have fun building those strong "reading muscles"!

The S.O.A.R. Committee is working hard to build the OVCA Pizza Hut BOOK IT Program. Continue to email your completed 5 books you have read EACH month to sirvin@okvirtual.org so that we can send your coupon for a free personal pan pizza. We are working to get these out to you more efficiently! Thank you for your patience!
